4. Who would the audience be for your media product?
The target audience for the magazine Riddim is mixed ethnicity females and males aged 16-25, with a slight bias toward white females due to the images used. A typical Riddim reader is likely to be a white female around 16-17 years old who is interested in music and fashion. They see themselves as unique and independent, not needing a boyfriend as they value female empowerment and doing what they want.
Formal proposal task 10
The document discusses initial ideas for an R&B/hip hop magazine targeted at 16-25 year olds in social classes C1 and C2. Based on audience research, the magazine will feature pictures of female artists on the cover and male artists in a competition. It will have more images than text throughout, including an interview with a new girl band in a double page spread. Photographs will portray stereotypical representations of R&B artists to match audience expectations.
Task 2 & 3
The document analyzes magazine covers and contents pages. Key points:
1) Magazine covers use prominent images, headlines and cover lines to attract readers and represent the genre of music. Fonts, layouts and color schemes adhere to each magazine's style.
2) Contents pages list sections and feature artists relevant to the magazine's audience. Unconventional designs make the magazines stand out.
3) Double page spreads focus on a single large image to represent the theme. Extra photos replace a heading to assume reader familiarity with the subject.

The document summarizes how the magazine created by the author follows conventions of real RnB magazines in its formatting, layout, and content while also challenging some conventions. The magazine uses typical fonts, colors, and images for the genre but features a younger, all-female band on the cover which breaks from conventions. The layout and sections on music, artists, and tours are conventional while the freer design of some pages makes the magazine unique.
Question 1 in what ways does your media product use
The document discusses conventions used in the student's media documentary on binge drinking. It examines documentaries like "Ready, Steady, Drink" that also cover this topic. The student's documentary uses conventions like a voiceover narration, interviews, and background music to set different moods. It challenges conventions by not using a presenter and not having student directors participate in drinking experiments. The documentary and promotional materials like a TV listing follow genre conventions to engage audiences.
Research and Planning - Task 10
The document discusses initial ideas for an R&B/hip hop magazine targeted at 16-25 year olds in social classes C1 and C2. Based on audience research, the magazine will feature pictures of female artists on the cover and male artists in competitions. Interviews will be included, such as one with an up-and-coming girl band in a double page spread. Photographs will portray stereotypical representations of R&B artists to match audience expectations. The goal is to create continuity across the magazine using color schemes, fonts and pictures.
5. How did you attract/address your audience?
The document summarizes how the magazine addressed its audience through design elements. It used a simple purple and black color scheme that was visually appealing and neutral to attract both sexes. Eye-catching images of artists in dominant poses engaged readers. References to artists' songs kept the content timely and cheeky. Continuity across the cover, contents page, and spreads further attracted readers through a consistent style. Polaroid images made the magazine unique.
Research and Planning - Task 7
The document discusses potential publishers for the author's planned R&B/hip-hop magazine. Intermedia Vibe Holdings LLC, which publishes Vibe magazine, is mentioned as a possible option due to the similar genre focus. However, they may not be interested in taking on another similar magazine. Bauer Media is presented as another potential publisher. As one of the largest privately owned publishing groups in Europe with over 300 magazines, they could benefit from the author's magazine which would help them expand into the R&B/hip-hop genre where they currently have limited offerings. The author believes their magazine could attract a new audience for Bauer Media and potentially lead to further magazines in that genre.

Research and Planning - Task 6
R&B originated in the 1940s from black American musical styles in urban areas like Chicago and New York. In the 1950s it provided a template for rock and roll. Motown Records dominated R&B in the 1960s with artists like Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson. R&B incorporated elements of gospel, funk, jazz and disco from the 1970s-1980s. Modern R&B has influences from soul, rock, hip hop and is performed by artists like Mary J. Blige and John Legend. Iconic R&B artists of the past include Ray Charles, Etta James and Elvis Presley.
Question 3 - Caitlin Hulse
The focus group provided helpful feedback on the documentary, article, and radio trailer. For the documentary, the opening sequence effectively set the topic and the music change was noticeable. Vox pops were comedic and relatable while serious interviews were informative. Both the student and parent wanted to watch more. For the article, images drew attention while facts and varied fonts engaged readers. The radio trailer used a mix of serious and comedic clips to tell the "fun or fatal" story effectively. Overall, the audience research validated that the key messages and tone were conveyed appropriately.

Overall the document learner learnt new technologies and feels more confident using software like Photoshop and InDesign.
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
This magazine targets 16-25 year old females of white ethnicity. The target audience is considered "aspirers" who want to be successful and popular as adults. Two music artists, Taylor from the magazine and Teyana Taylor from another magazine, are compared. Both are females aged 16-25 posing confidently in jeans, t-shirts, and hooped earrings. The wording in the magazine emphasizes themes of determination, ambition, and achieving one's potential that would appeal to aspirational youth.
Question 3 - Caitlin Hulse
The document summarizes feedback from audience members on a documentary about binge drinking. Key findings include:
1) Audience members felt the opening sequence effectively introduced the topic of binge drinking.
2) Most agreed there was a good balance of factual information without being overbearing.
3) All agreed the music fit well with the themes and transitions between "fun" and "fatal" sections were smooth.
4) Vox pops added humor that helped audiences relate while formal interviews provided useful facts.
5) A newspaper article and radio trailer promoting the documentary were both found to be eye-catching.
Question 4
The student used various media technologies in the research, planning, filming, editing, and evaluation stages of constructing their documentary on binge drinking. In research, they used online resources like the NHS website, BBC News, YouTube, and 4oD to validate facts and analyze similar documentaries. Planning involved creating storyboards, proposals, and blog posts. Filming utilized a Canon camera, microphone, and tripod. Editing was done in Final Cut Express, including adjusting audio levels, speeds, and adding text/music. A radio trailer was also produced by editing audio clips from the documentary.

The document summarizes how the magazine product uses and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It discusses various design elements like the masthead font and style, images without backgrounds, costumes and props of artists, and topics of written content. While some elements follow conventions like serious artist photos and music/tour topics, others challenge norms like using younger, white female artists instead of typical older, black R&B performers. Overall, the magazine draws from real magazine styles but adapts them to better suit its target teenage audience.

The student used various hardware and software to plan and construct their magazine pages. They used a booklet, blog tasks, and drafts to plan their magazine's content and design. Photoshop was difficult to use but allowed image editing. InDesign was easier and they learned skills like wrapping text. Blogger and Slideshare made sharing work easier. While struggling with Photoshop, Picnik allowed simple image cropping and effects. Overall the technologies were effective despite some challenges with Photoshop.
Research and Planning - Task 10
The document discusses initial ideas for an R&B/hip hop magazine targeted at 16-25 year olds in the UK. Based on audience research, the magazine will feature pictures of female artists on the cover to appeal to readers' preference for Rihanna and girl groups. It will also include more images than text throughout, in a simple font and color scheme. A double page spread will feature an interview with a new girl band, including gossip photos. Additional photographs will portray stereotypical representations of R&B female and male artists.
Research and Planning - Task 9
The document summarizes the findings from a focus group discussion about preferences for a new magazine target at ages 16-30. Key findings include:
- Participants liked the styles of artists Rihanna and Drake as models for the magazine.
- A simple font was preferred to not detract from images, and the graffiti style was favored from sample fonts.
- Colors suggested in a previous survey like green, yellow and blue were found too "boyish" and should include purple or pink to appeal to females as well.
- Feedback from the focus group will help design an effective magazine that appeals to both genders in terms of styles, fonts and color scheme featured.
Questionnaire results final
The document summarizes the results of a survey about starting a new R&B/hip hop magazine. Most respondents expressed interest in a new magazine and named Rihanna, Drake, Chris Brown, and Beyoncé as their favorite artists. Respondents indicated a preference for interviews, contests, and gossip over other content. They also preferred more pictures over words on the cover and wanted the magazine to use green, blue, and yellow colors. Most wanted the magazine to come out weekly with multiple images rather than one main image and a simple font in a large size. The top prize respondents wanted to win was concert tickets. Most were satisfied with the proposed content and said they would pay £1 for the magazine.
